I can't believe Easter is Sunday! Seriously where has the time gone? Since I'm not in the classroom my mind is pretty much baby this and baby that at the moment so I find myself having "whoa" moments when I realize that the next holiday is already upon us. Yikes!
If you are in the classroom this week I'm sure it's full of spring and Easter fun so I wanted to share one of my favorite, oh so simple, Easter crafts... Sponge Painted Paper Eggs! Variations of this little number can be spotted all over Pinterest and I love that the finished paper egg can be used as hanging wall art, added to a card, used as a writing prompt or even as an addition to an Easter bag!
So how do I make this craft?
1. Collect these Materials:
- Egg template (Grab various sizes for Free at this website!) I like to print on card stock for better durability.
- Paint in a variety of colors. (Basic liquid tempera works just fine.)
- Sponges (Cut into various sizes)
- Plates or something to put the paint on.
Optional:
- Clothespins if you prefer students to not get their hands all dirty. Ha-Ha
- Painters tape if you'd like to add spots, stripes etc.
2. Prep and Model:
3. Let your students create their own eggs!
4. Let them dry and then cut them out. Use the eggs as decoration pieces, writing inspiration etc. Add torn paper or a ribbon bow to dress them up more. The possibilities are endless!
